Detailed Description

Energy Efficiency

The usage of automated functions already save energy in every installation. Especially the usage of KNX has a lot of potential for further energy savings, which can contribute to a better environmental footprint. Be extending KNX to more functions and applications, energy savings of up to 60% can be realised. Thanks to the flexibility of KNX, these functions can easily be implemented in this installation

Innovation

Smart homes and buildings are always an upgrade in comparison to a conventional installation. Not only automated functions and a higher level of comfort contribute to a higher living standard, but also the possibility to be ready for coming innovations. Thanks to the usage of KNX, the door has been opened to integrate new innovative solutions, using the worldwide STANDARD for home and building control.

Customers Description

In one of the countries farthest from the KNX association headquarters and dominated for years by proprietary systems, Australia, we decided to invest heavily to help with change. We could have chosen to do a normal office but we chose to do a real school for KNX and HVAC. Our goal is to train as many electricians as possible toward KNX and do as many events with architects to bring them up to speed on this now established standard in the market. We created an HVAC plant room with geothermal system and water and air heat pumps, implemented supervision in knx very detailed to show all the potential of the system.
